* In almost every ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' series ever made, those who know about the eponymous Robots in Disguise seem to think [[AlienAmongUs giant space robots]] are an everyday occurrence.** The pilot episode of the [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers original series]] has a plausible explanation for this. The Autobots were recognized by the nations of Earth for what they did to stop the Decepticons. So while most people will never have seen them before then (except for rare television appearances), most will likely say "Oh, so ''that's'' what they look like" and go about their business.** Likewise in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', the Autobots are recognized as Detroit's local superheroes, and so they are generally accepted as normal...and this is played with in the second season, where the destruction the battle with Megatron caused results in people being much more leery of them.*** Given that Detroit already had supervillains (Angry Archer, Stilletto, Professor Princess) and superheroes (the Wraith), the giant space robots may not be the strangest thing the city's dealt with.*** Detroit was also the capital of robotics technology in that universe. When Optimus Prime and his crew first emerge, battling a giant roach mutated by nanotechnology, local law enforcement just assumes that they are local inventor's latest project.** Played with in ''Anime/TransformersCybertron'', where giant transforming robots are actually an urban legend like Bigfoot. One wonders how that happened.*** It is explained later in the series that there was a tribe of Decepticons imprisoned beneath a glacier who were the basis of all Earth's myths. Also, the series followed on from two others where the Transformers' existence was kept hushed up, although big mechanical men from outer space were never going to stay completely secret, so naturally something leaked out.** Lampshaded in ''Anime/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'', with one unlucky woman convinced she was going crazy because she kept hearing talking cars.** The [[Film/{{Transformers}} 2007 live-action movie]] lampshades this and plays it for laughs. Optimus is confident enough in the Autobots' Earth disguises to assume that no one will question the sudden appearance of a fleet of expensive vehicles in the Witwickys' lawn. The denseness of civilians is also highlighted in the sequel but in both movies people (rightfully) start screaming when stuff starts blowing up.* Another aspect of the ''Transformers'' franchise that people should probably think is odd is the peculiar vehicle forms some of them choose; for example, one of the Combaticons is perfectly able to hide in Earth orbit without anyone commenting on a green space shuttle the same size as a tank. This was lampshaded in an episode of Animated, when Sentinel Prime and Ultra Magnus come to Earth; Sentinel claims he's scanned some Earth forms so they'll blend in, and Prowl remarks "Yes, no one will notice that" when Sentinel becomes a giant snow-plow (oddly similar to the one from the "Mr. Plow" episode of ''The Simpsons'') and Ultra Magnus becomes a giant rolling missile platform.* In ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', it took well until the later half of Season One before the people of Amity Park actually started noticing the ghosts in the town. This is taken to an interesting extreme when Valerie Gray's dad and his job security at Axiom Labs actually did try to stop him from leaving the building----but they clearly did not recognize him as a ghost. This might be somewhat explained that in the show's universe, ghost-hunters Jack and Maddie Fenton are viewed as well---crazy; so why would anyone in the town even support that ghosts actually exist? It's not until one of Danny's most dangerous enemies starts blowing up the town that Amity Park finally begins paying disturbed notice.* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' is able to maintain his anything-but-subtle [[{{Masquerade}} alien secrecy]] primarily due to this.** Or just stupidity. Vasquez doesn't seem to have much faith in the intelligence of the general populace, and this is never more evident than in InvaderZim.* Same thing goes for Spot/Scott Leadready II in ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'', who is a dog that is able to pass as human by just standing up and covering his ears with a hat. He was also a blue dog to begin with.** Given his owner is chalk white, it probably comes under cartoon racial spectrums. However, nobody notices that he has a protuding jaw.* In ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'', nobody seems to see a giant robot with a car for its head as anything but an especially CoolCar, to the point that Megas is just one of many top competitors at a car show. They also don't care that their city gets destroyed constantly.* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' centers around this trope; the main characters travel around the world to thwart [[MadScientist evil scientists]], fight [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys monkeys]] that know kung-fu, and generally [[TheyFightCrime fight crime]] with self-learned SheFu. While Kim has occasional fanclubs and interviews, for the most part, Kim leads a relatively normal high school life - right down to boyfriend issues and being scorned by the AlphaBitch - without even using a SecretIdentity. The characters also do not seem to be impressed about Kim's rocket scientist dad and brain surgeon mom, nor the abundance of [[WiseBeyondTheirYears child geniuses]] running amock.** And Drakken and Shego never attract attention for looking unusual. You'd think a green-skinned woman in a [[SpyCatsuit catsuit]] and a blue-skinned man in a labcoat who both happen to be wanted felons would catch people's attention, but no. Maybe no-one wants to say something about them being [[MistakenForRacist differently coloured]].* In the original {{GI Joe}} cartoon, no one ever takes any notice of incredibly colorful military uniforms, often with tons of armament on them, wondering the streets when the Joes are in an urban environment.* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', nobody ever seems to notice the heroes wearing costumes in their mundane lives. They're neither starstruck that WonderWoman is browsing their mall nor find it strange that green-skinned Beast Boy is at the arcade.** Averted in the CN movie ''TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo'' where Raven leads a one-woman bashfest on Beast Boy's estranged appearance when he marks that he won't be able to pick up chicks because his shirt is dirty.* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' plays this for laughs with a [[ShowWithinAShow story within the show]]. Bartly (Bart) is surprised at almost everything, including, on one occasion, a doorknob. When a stool has been brought to life and walks right by him wearing a bowler hat, neither he nor the detective (Lisa) make any comment.** In one episode, Homer obtains the Auto-Dialer. When Prof. Frink (it's creator) finds out who has it, he presses a button on a remote control. Meanwhile, at the Simpson's house, the Auto-Dialer mechanically sprouts wheels and trys to escape from Homer, who just goes, "Oh, no you don't!" and removes the wheels.** In "You Only Move Twice" Homer is telling boss Hank Scorpio that he has to resign.....While ignoring the MASSIVE GUNFIGHT occurring around him, complete with explosions, acid vats, a soldier getting his neck snapped by a half naked chick (Which Homer notices but does not comment on) and finally Scorpio pulling out a Flamethrower and going to town on the government forces.-->'''Scorpio:''' Homer, I'm disappointed but I think you need to do what's best for your family. [...] But Homer? On your way out, if you wanna kill somebody it would help me a lot. ''(straps on a flamethrower)''* '' IGotARocket''s about a boy who is accompanied by a talking rocket - with eyes and a mouth. Nobody ever seems to think there's anything strange about a talking rocket casually floating around on the street.* A great number of people in ''WereBackADinosaursStory'', do not seem to be impressed or curious about the ''talking dinosaurs that dropped from the sky''!!!* MTV's ''Brothers Grunt'' were remarkably good at blending in with regular society, despite being gray veiny freaks dressed only in shorts and wingtips.* In ''CuriousGeorge'', nobody seems to find the sight of a monkey walking around the city by himself -much less being treated as a person- as out of the ordinary.* ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''. A lot of the cats, dogs, mice, chipmunks, birds, etc. wear clothes, but none of the humans seem to notice.** Arguably Justified as most people who do see them think they're escaped pets.* Semi-subverted in ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'': people who find out that a dog can talk are surprised, but get used it to it VERY quickly. And then don't think twice about getting advice ''from a dog''* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':** "Bloody Mary" has a statue of the virgin Mary bleeding (out of her butt). The Pope then comes and declares that it isn't a miracle becase "chicks bleed out of their vaginas all the time."** "Raisins" has Raisins, the kid version of Hooters. No adult bothered to question the idea of it.** "A Nightmare on Face Time" has two people doing this to each other:--->'''Randy:''' What are you doing?\\'''Shelly:''' ''(setting a shelf on fire)'' Nothing, dad. Go back to killing the family.\\'''Randy:''' Okay.** "The Mysterion Trilogy": When men see [[EldritchAbomination Cthulhu]], they're supposed to go insane. [[TheSociopath Cartman]], however, is able to look Cthulhu straight in the eye with ''no reaction whatsoever''.* The ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSuperMarioBros3'' episode "Toddler Terrors of Time Travel" has Mario and Luigi get turned into babies, but still have their mustaches, right before they visit the woman whose bathtub they're supposed to unclog. When they arrive at her doorstep, she doesn't seem to notice that these babies have mustaches.** He did say that the woman was "a little daffy", and she failed to see anything weird about Bowser and Ludwig as "Koopa & Kid Costume Plumbers".* On ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'', no one seems to find all the experiments working around the island to be all that strange, or even remotely believe they're aliens.** Oh it goes even further, some of the townspeople who do manage to pull their heads out of their asses and notice them compare them to animals that in no way resemble the experiments (or any real-world animal for that matter). In two instances a pair of tourists thought Yaarp, a blue four armed ring-tailed experiment with a giant megaphone-like antenna on its head was a Hawaiian sheep and in another episode, mistook Kixx, a bulky purple experiment with four oversized arms for a wild pig.** However, it is subverted on some occasions. The crossover with ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'', for example, had the cast of that show coming to Hawaii to investigate reports of "magical creatures."* The town of [[{{Egopolis}} Danville]] from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' has a local MadScientist community, an organization of CoolHat wearing secret agent animals and two young supergeniuses with short attention spans, so naturally, all sorts of bizarre things seem to happen, almost always crisscrossing with ''other'' bizarre things as well. When the boys' new pet lizard suddenly grows fifty feet or their latest invention turns to broccoli, however, no one bats an eye, except for Candace, an [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Girl]] who seems to be going crazy as a result. (And Linda somehow never sees ''any'' of it...)** Particularly noticeable in "Toy to the World" where Doofenshmirtz goes down a conveyor belt, [[ItMakesSenseInContext flipping out because of the platypus toys being put together]], and the people on the assembly line just watch him go by before going back to work, discussing local sports.* ''WesternAnimation/NedsNewt'' has a RunningGag where Ned's parents enter his room just as he's talking to his 6-foot-tall ShapeShifting pet newt Newton, upon which Newton quickly transforms into something supposedly innocuous... like the Venus de Milo, or "the big metal thingy for affixing a ship." [[TheDitz Ned's parents]] comment on this, but never seem to mind.* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' [[PlayedForLaughs plays this for laughs]] in what wound up being its final episode: both the Osborns' butler and Mrs. Osborn walk into the living room to see Harry (who's been missing for several days) and Norman having a discussion with Spider-Man. Neither comments on it (though for Mrs. Osborn, [[TheVoiceless that's unsurprising]]).* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperHeroSquadShow'' takes a FantasyKitchenSink approach to the MarvelUniverse, and both the Dr. Doom-controlled [[{{Mordor}} Villainville]] and ''[[FloatingContinent Asgard with the Bifrost Bridge]]'' are visible from Superhero City.* Nobody ever finds it strange that ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' is a talking dog.** Slightly discussed in the episode, "The Weird Winds of Winona", in which Mystery Inc. meets the team behind WesternAnimation/SpeedBuggy. While Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy seem unfazed by the idea of a talking car, Scooby does take notice. --> '''Speed Buggy''': Come on, Scooby. Climb in.--> '''Scooby''': No way!--> '''Shaggy''': Go on, Scoob. It's only a car.--> '''Scooby''': That talks? --> '''Debbie''': That's a strange question from a dog that talks. * Played with in the [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Disney animated short]] ''Social Lion'', where a lion ends up in NYC, only to find out that nobody pays the slightest attention to the fact that he's a lion, not even when he roars. It's not until he tries wearing clothes that everyone suddenly realizes what he really is, and panics.* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' has the Flying Dutchman temporarily move in with [=SpongeBob=], and the Dutchman begins scaring him every chance he gets. Eventually [=SpongeBob=] becomes desensitized to the Dutchman's pranks and starts treating them like everyday occurrences, so he's unfazed by the Dutchman's horror show later on with him taking on increasingly bizarre forms.* In part 1 of the ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' episode "Grape Expectations", Roy goes to the supermarket in order to buy one grape to replace the missing one in the stash, and there are actually humans there. '''Nobody''' batted an eyelash about the fact that there was ''a talking rooster'' in the store.* It says a lot about the strength of Pinkie Pie's WeirdnessCoupon in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' that few ponies bat an eye at her doing things such as sneezing confetti or wearing a haystack. In fact in the latter case Rainbow Dash not only greets her casually, but freaks out for a completely unrelated reason.** Twilight Sparkle was initially freaked out by Pinkie's weirdness,but eventually she gives up trying to figure it out and just accepts it.** The [[MundaneFantastic setting]] can result in the viewers having difficulty in telling which sights are considered interesting and which aren't. The townsfolk react to a stampeding herd of bunnies with panic and terror, while a WizardDuel between the two strongest magic talents alive (outside the princesses) is treated more like a spectator sport.** Post season 3, you'd think Twilight becoming an alicorn would draw some notice nearing that of the Princesses, but that doesn't seem to be the case. For example, in "Rarity Takes Manehattan", when she attempts to call for a carriage, nopony even gives her the time of day.** In "Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3" the entire town puts on a history performance about the Wonderbolts for Rainbow Dash as she flies overhead; she was so depressed at the time, she didn't [[SherlockScan notice]] it was actually happening until it was over.* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr. High" Peter attempts to convert the house staircase into a water slide and injures himself going down it. Brian, who by now is used to Peter's antics, simply ignores his agonized groans telling him "I'm not going to call the hospital because you won't learn anything if I do." A similar incident occurs in "Breaking Out is Hard to Do" when Peter attempts to do some sexual act that requires Lois' assistance without her (she was incarcerated at the time) and ends up falling down the stairs. Brian take his eyes off of his newspaper for a few seconds to look at Peter before going back to reading.* On ''WesternAnimation/GaspardAndLisa'', the classmates don't seem to mind that there are two talking dogs with bandanas, walking on their hind legs. Nope.* Most of the historical figures and often all past civilians from ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' don't seem surprised that they've been visited by time travellers from the future.** {{Justified|Trope}} in the case of Buffalo Bill since he was a conspiracy theorist who had suspected that he was being watched by people from the future to begin with.* In ''Can You Teach My Alligator Manners?'', EVERYBODY thinks that a ''giant, manner-learning, walking, talking alligator who is a kid's pet'' is just a normal sight.* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' the turtles are generally pretty good about being stealthy when on the streets, but there is a lot of stuff going on in New York City that really ''should'' raise more notice. Probably most blatant when the Shellraiser, a subway car converted into a monster truck that's as wide as a two lane street, is driving around in plain view of several pedestrians, and no one so much as takes a second glance.* ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' is both everyone's uncle and everyone's grandfather... somehow. He's also a RealityWarper with various supernatural abilities including being in multiple places at the same time, and is over 1 billion years old (by virtue of being the oldest person in the RV). Nobody ever finds any of this odd.* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'' has Gus walking down the street with, get ready for this, a knife embedded into his head to which a birdcage (containing a bird that happened to fly in) is welded to, that also has two faucets, a menorah, a mobile, a fake flower, a tennis racket, and an umbrella all attached to it. While he's surrounded by people all marvelling over it, he passes some Rabbis one of which comments "That man is insane. Hanukkah is next week!"* Most residents of Beach City from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' seem oddly unfazed by the presence of three magical aliens, a magic half-alien kid, and the various weirdness said things entail around town.----
